Except for the tuner arrangement...

I agree its important for the B to have some breathing space, but this same layout works very well on the Lakland necks (and Wal) too, where the angle of the headstock gives the B plenty of space, and although the Roscoe headstock has a totally different shape, the tuner spacing and layout is very similar, and would think equally well balanced.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of many basses that are not 5, 4+1 or 3+2 layout, but I feel sure plenty of fine examples will now be suggested and I'll have to take back this foolish comment!!

Nice

Dingwall, Ibanez, Ken Smith (newer basses) and some others all do the 2+3 tuner arrangement.

I missed the joke, didn't I...?

I meant basses with 2+3 headstocks...

You're in the clear, Jarek.
The joke was just about the name Elrick, as in "El Rick", the Spanish and/or Mexican cheaper version of the Rickenbacker.

It's true! You read it on BC first!

best,
